My barber is appointment-only.Now this might depend on someone's personal experience but over time I am finding that barbershops are getting worse.
Barbers getting into arguments with other barbers or with clients who aren't even in the chair, whether serious or casual. Which, I get this is part of any barbershop but when the MF keeps pausing in the middle of your shape up, it's like bruh...you can be here all day but I got shyt to do.
Barbers answering their phones every 5 minutes.
Barbers taking forever to cut in general -- fool you keep going over the same damn spot, aint no more hair there. Move on.
Barbershops being interrupted by some dusty clown trying to sell colognes or goofy shyt like stolen car or motorcycle parts.
Plus now you got people thinking if they pick up a broom and sweep up the hairs, they can get a free cut. Fool, nobody asked you to do that shyt. You paying like everyone else.
I was at the damn shop for 3 hours yesterday. I know Saturdays are the busiest days but I know women who spend less time getting their shyt done.
It's an epidemic out here.
His wife does women's styling next door. Soon as I show up, he's cutting my hair. Soon as I pay him, another breh is walking in right behind me. Easy-peasy.
I haven't experienced it but I have heard that some barbers out there schedule their clients through an app.
Seems like that would help.

Yup. Most shops that I’ve been to are unprofessional and disrespectful.

I’m past them days but man my barber will definitely stop mid cut multiple times to do shyt. I be wanting to cuss him out but I don’t want him to cut my beard off or something lol. I think he has ADHD or something. Can’t go anywhere else though because he has probably the best price in Charlotte
No homo but that’s the perfect length stage
Long hair dont care conversation
Thinking bout chopping mine back down to that length. Just hit 4 yrs w mine.
Yeah, I've done that at every shop I've ever been to. Get up early on Saturday, head in, and I'm usually pretty quickly. Only time that's ever backfired on me is when I went to a popular shop that would sometimes have a line before they even opened, or brehs who had set appointments for when they opened.

You got the juice brehIt depends on where You go. I go with a multicultural barbershop it's Black owned. It's on a college campus in the city next door to the law school.
My cut is $30 and I have a standing 7:30 am appointment every Saturday morning. Even when it's crowded it's no drama and no foolishness. It's always Drake, French Kwik Juice or some jazz flowing from the atmos speakers. Although it take me an hour to get into the city it's worth it. Paying for peace and quiet is priceless for me.
Low cut Caesar and simple goatee for the win>>>>>>
